CLA 1000
"Research Proven
to Build Muscle, Reduce Body Fat, and Induce a Optimum
Cellular Environment For Improved Health!"
Product Information
CLA - Conjugated Linoleic Acid - is not a new discovery
as some magazines would have you believe. However,
a better understanding of its effects are leading
to potential applications that are extremely new and
exciting. AST Sports Science was the first company
to report on CLA’s possible benefits to the athlete
over two years ago, and recent studies are backing
up our predictions.
CLA
was discovered by accident in 1978 by Michael W. Pariza
at the University of Wisconsin while looking for mutagen
formations in meat during cooking. CLA, found naturally
in many animal products, consists of positional and
geometric isomers of linoleic acid. The difference
between the two centers around CLA’s conjugated double
bonds at carbon atoms 10 and 12 or 9 and 11. The 9
cis, 11 trans isomer is considered the most biologically
active form of CLA.
Although
all the intricacies of CLA are not fully understood,
it is widely accepted in the research community that
CLA counterbalances the negative effects of linoleic
acid and regulates fat and protein metabolism in animals.
Pariza, director of the Food Research Institute at
the University of Wisconsin said, "A growing body
of data indicates that CLA is a newly recognized nutrient
that functions to regulate energy retention and metabolism."
CLA can best be described as a "Growth Factor".
Food
intake efficiency! CLA has been shown in animal studies
to increase growth rate through increased feed efficiency.
In controlled studies, animals that had their diets
supplemented with CLA increased their body protein
(muscle tissue) while at the same time, had a significant
decrease in body fat. This all occurred in the CLA
supplemented animals while their food intake was decreased.
Their lean mass increased even though they were eating
less! This indicates that CLA increases feed efficiency
and also points to a potent nutrient repartitioning
effect.
This
significant change in body composition can also be
attributed in part to CLA’s effect on immune function.
When CLA levels fall, interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis
factor-a are involved in the accumulation of body
fat. CLA has been shown to inhibit the lean tissue
wasting caused by high levels of these cytokines.
Actual
human studies are on the way with anticipation of
similar outcomes. CLA may be the most significant
bodybuilding nutrient discovered in this decade. With
anti-catabolic effects rivaling even the strongest
pharmaceutical compounds, CLA is a naturally occurring
nutrient with the ability to help you pack on lean
muscle, reduce body fat and at the same time possesses
health promoting properties.
CLA
occurs naturally in foods such as milk, cheese, beef,
and lamb as well as many processed foods. One processed
food in particular that’s high in CLA is Cheez Wiz®.
But getting enough CLA from your diet for the preferred
benefit would require considerable intake of these
types of foods. This is not only impractical, but
would also have a seriously negative impact on your
metabolism due to the high caloric penalty you would
pay.
Since
this research has surfaced, a more economical and
efficient way to get the required CLA has been devised.
Through advanced lipid technology, a CLA synthesizing
process allows for precision intake through premeasured
softgel capsules. This allows for precise CLA intake
at determined time intervals without the high calorie
food consumption. Not only has CLA been shown to increase
muscle mass while reducing body fat, studies have
also shown remarkable anti-catabolic, antioxidant,
immune enhancement, and anti-cancer benefits. Several
other studies have even revealed dramatic cholesterol
reducing effects. All this from a structured lipid.
A "designer fat" if you would.
To
the athlete looking to add more muscle and drop body
fat, CLA is a unique discovery that will make accomplishing
this feat easier and faster, all the while having
positive effects on immune function and antioxidant
status, as well as cholesterol lowering effects.
CLA
1000 is a structurally altered form (a series of positional
and geometric isomers) of the essential polyunsaturated
fat, linoliec acid. CLA is present naturally in a
variety of foods including red meat, lamb, turkey,
milk and cheese. The active isomer of CLA (c-9, t-11)
is incorporated into the phospholipid cell membranes
of individuals fed this isomer mixture of CLA
